iPhone EXIF Info and .Mac Web Galleries

I found out that the iPhone aperture setting is fixed at f/2.8 based on the EXIF info from pictures I uploaded to Flickr.

Apple just updated some of their .Mac account features today (FINALLY). They've introduced Web Galleries which I guess is competitor to Flickr and PicasaWeb. Given that most people will opt to publish to one of those two services, it makes sense for Apple to give their customers the ability to do the same with their .Mac account. It's still hard to part with almost $100/year for such a service...granted, you can also upload video and you get a .Mac mail account and webpage publishing and the ability to host your blog...but their are enough free services that allow you to do those. The only thing Apple has going for it is that it's you only need to direct friends and family to one place and not a desperate collection of places if they want to see photos or read blogs or what-not.
